The single player campaign is certainly decent and will hold people's interest long enough to get them accustomed to the various weapons in time to jump into multiplayer. It's not quite the revolutionary trip back to Castle Wolfenstein that people may have been hoping for, but that's no reason to discount it, as it is nothing less than a solid and satisfying experience.

Not the perfect balance of coordinated action and high-end graphics many might have been hoping for, nor is it as robust a package as America's Army, Enemy Territory still manages to offer a solid change from a pace set by Battlefield. At the same time, it's an appreciable graphical upgrade above the tight action of Day of Defeat and a solid extension on tried and true Wolfenstein combat.

If you have the right expectations -- mainly, you are ready for a classic turn-based adventure straight outta 1987 -- Wolfenstein RPG will entertain the hell out of you. I enjoyed the game on traditional mobile, but this iPhone update improves on every aspect of the original. The controls are better. There are more secrets. The art style is superior. You will get six or seven hours of play out of this game, and that's if you just press through it without looking for all of the goodies or experiment with the syringe boosters. I had a great time with Wolfenstein RPG and heartily recommend it.

With almost a decade between installments, it's impossible to argue that id is trying to milk the Wolfenstein license. Yet this also means that a lot of evolution has gone on in the genre. It's admirable that Raven Software recognized this with Wolfenstein, but you can't help but wish that they developed the kernel of the ideas in this game into something more. As it is, this new Wolfenstein comes off as an engaging, though otherwise forgettable, shooter.

Wolfenstein: The New Order is the melding of your typical, everyday shooter with quality writing and a cast of believable and relatable characters. Machinegames' more grounded treatment of the often way over-the-top alternate Nazi history is also a nice touch, and while The New Order is in no way, shape, or form a simulation of the real world, its 10-to-12 hour campaign can certainly make you stop and wonder more than, say, Raven's 2009's occult-centric Wolfenstein reboot.
With an essential early-game choice that makes it worth playing through twice, the story at the center of Wolfenstein: The New Order props up its competent -- but mostly unremarkable -- shooting.

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood places almost all its bets on the intense combat carried over from the game that came before it. The weapons feel great, and the arenas are interesting and filled with opportunity for some strategic creativity. But by doing this, The Old Blood misses out on some of the quieter moments that made The New Order so special. The Old Blood doubles down on blood and guts, but in doing so sacrifices some of its heart.
